have u seen a perfect fake???

virginiaThread Starter

maybe this topic has been discussed before, but lately it's been bothering me so much when people say im crazy because im paranoid about the authenticity of lv bags...even if i get them authenticated! im very careful when it comes to buying secondhand bags and even after i get it authenticated, sometimes i still think it's too good to be true...my friends and coworkers think im nuts and they'll make comments like "if u really like lv, u could tell it's real" or "u could just tell it's real!" and it pisses me off because they make it seem like i cant tell a real from a fake. they just dunno how good people are at making fakes out there! i heard korea makes the best ones and sometimes they are so identical even lv sales rep cannot tell the difference! unless i buy directly from lv, how willl i know for sure my bag is authentic even when i have been told by several reliable sources the bag is real?

I've seen so called "mirror image replica" bags from korea
but they always have flaws here and there and if you look closely enough,
you WILL see the difference
there's no such thing as "perfect fake" - often imitated but NEVER duplicated

I agree that you should just but from eluxury or LV if this worries you. I have purchased from eBay before and I always had the thought in the back of my mind that it could be a super fake. Now, I no longer purchase designer bags from eBay and have since sold all my eBay bags.

^^ Agreed. I have never seen a fake that was totally indistinguishable from the real thing. Every fake I have seen has something wrong that totally gives it away. Even the so-called "mirror image" fakes are bad.
